It is an absolute nightmare for anyone who still cherishes privacy and freedom. Our eastern neighbors are well on their way to setting up a full-blown Stasi 2.0. The German government intends to store and monitor the IP data of all citizens en masse. Under the guise of ‘security,’ the state wants to know exactly which websites citizens visit, who they communicate with, and what they get up to online. It is an unprecedented form of mass surveillance that seems to ingcome straight out of a dystopian book, and the cartel in The Hague is undoubtedly watching and drool!
The resurrection of the Stasi
It is simply chilling how quickly the supposedly democratic and ‘free’ Western governments are sliding into totalitarian control societies. The German government’s plans to force internet providers to store the IP data of all citizens by default strike at the absolute core of our fundamental rights. Every mouse click, every forum visited, every news website read; everything must be traceable back to the individual behind the screen.
Privacy experts and champions of digital civil rights are therefore quite rightly sounding the alarm about this madness. A prominent advocate for online freedom aptly summarized the situation:
“This is no longer targeted detection of perpetrators, but the preventive distrust and criminalization of the entire, innocent population.”
And that is exactly how it is. We all know what happens when a state is granted such boundless powers: it is the perfect instrument to muzzle the political opposition and intimidate those who think differently. Don’t let the truth be concealed: stay informed about the advancing surveillance state and the fight for our freedom!
The established media often deliberately look away when the government restricts our freedoms, but we lay the hard facts and the cartel’s agenda on the table unvarnished.
The ‘think of safety’ excuse
So how do they manage to sell this absurd power grab to the general public? Exactly as they always do: by ruthlessly playing on gut feelings. Proponents of these kinds of draconian dragnet laws and surveillance mechanisms invariably claim that we must allow this to tackle serious crime or terrorism.
A German politician trying to push these plans through defended the censorship measure by simply stating:
“We urgently need this data to protect our society against unseen dangers.”
It is the ultimate, false excuse to seize absolute control.
Moreover, it is extremely naive to think that this problem remains limited to the German borders. Whatever is devised in Berlin and Brussels eventually always spreads like a toxic ink stain across the rest of Europe.
And Trump’s a Nazi and a fascist? he’s got a bit to learn from this dipshit!
